A customer contacted us regarding a Ceramic Tiled Shower Cubicle problem they had with their house in Epsom Downs, Surrey. All the grout and mastic had started to go black and grow mould which is quite a common problem in modern houses and our busy lifestyles and insulated homes with insufficient ventilation.

Cleaning Ceramic Tile and Grout

We started by giving the tiles a good scrub with Tile Doctor Pro-Clean and our non-scratch scrubbing brushes, then we thoroughly scrubbed the grout with more Pro-Clean and a special grout brush designed to get right into the grout and scrub the soil out. We then went over the grout where there was any marks and residue soil with our grout brush and Tile Doctor Grout Clean-up which is a stronger product that can remove mineral deposits and even excess grout from a tile surface.

Grout Sealing

Prevention is better than the cure so the tile and grout was dried with cloths and a heat gun and then left for half an hour. We then damp tested the area to make sure it was dry and was no damp present in the grout before applying Tile Doctor Grout Seal and Go which will seal the grout making it waterproof and stop the mould coming back

Last step was to cut out all the old mastic and seal around the shower and replace it with new silicone sealer finishing the job off nicely

It's as if we have a brand new kitchen floor! Rupert is really professional, approachable, friendly and knowledgeable. Many thanks for a tremendous job. Catherine Benson

What an amazing transformation! Rupert did a wonderful job on our tired, grubby and old kitchen floor. He was friendly, polite and professional. He was also completely committed to achieving the best possible result - even when that involved extra work for him. I would highly recommend him and will have him back in the future for a top-up service.Marisol Smith

A very accommodating and professional man, who did a great job on my quarry stone floorAmanda Maidment

Our limestone flooring was stained and looking a sad imitation of its former self. I'd been toying with the idea of attempting to clean it myself (impossible) and after much research found Tile Dr and Rupert online. A few hours under the capable courteous and meticulous care of Rupert and the floor looked better than the day it was laid - a total transformation. Thank you Rupert. Lisa Cumberbatch

Very professional and efficient service. Delighted with the result as it looks like a new floor. At the initial enquiry my emails asking questions about the process and products were answered promptly, timekeeping at the visit to provide the quote and when the work was carried out was excellent, the notes provided about care of the floor at the end of the job were helpful. I'd be happy to recommend Tile Doctor to friends and will use them again. Linda
